Hotel, restaurant and winery in a palace on calle Mayor in Laguardia, with visits to its century-old cellar and a tasting of five wines.

## What it is

Mayor de Migueloa brings together in a medieval palace on calle Mayor in Laguardia a small charming hotel, a restaurant and a winery. The house preserves its stone walls, beams and original floors, and the winery works under the motto "traditional winemaking in centuries-old spaces", in an underground cellar where you see the cave entrance, a collection of demijohns and the wines ageing. Its website does not tell the history of the palace or who runs the house today, nor since when the hotel and winery have operated. Its wines received the Great Wine Capitals People's Choice award in 2023 and appear in the Guía Peñín, and the restaurant is listed in the Guía Repsol 2026.

## The winery visit

All the experiences last around an hour, tour the winery with an explanation of the wine and the history of Laguardia and end with a tasting of five of the house's wines. What accompanies it changes:

with a tapa of local cheese, €25 per person;

with a board of Idiazabal cheese, €35;

with acorn-fed Iberian ham, €45;

followed by a Riojan menu in the restaurant, €110;

or by a chuletón (T-bone steak) menu, €135.

In summer there are departures every day at 12:30 and 17:30; the website does not publish the winter timetable. You book online at least one day in advance, choosing day, time, number of adults and experience, and the winery contacts you to confirm. They do not publish languages, conditions for children or cancellation, beyond some wine tourism terms of use that must be accepted when booking. They sell their wines in an online shop and have gift cards.

## The hotel and restaurant

The hotel, with registration number HVI00342, has three types of room, all for two people at most and with a bathroom: the standard, with a double bed or two beds, with views of the street or a patio; the superior, the largest, with stone walls, beams and a small sitting room; and the junior, with a bath, lots of light and views of the village. There is heating and air conditioning, wifi and television. Pets are not allowed. They hire mountain bikes at €15 an hour, with a two-hour minimum, to explore the vineyards.

The restaurant specialises in charcoal-grilled chuletón and Basque-Riojan cooking. Its menu organises the chuletón by breed, from Galician ox and Tudanco to Rubia Gallega, Black Angus, Simmental or Friesian, and adds sirloin, grilled turbot, seasonal artichokes, menestra of Riojan vegetables and stuffed cardoon. From April to October it is open every day from 13:00 to 21:00 with continuous service; for the rest of the year, call.
